Undergraduate and Graduate Students Posters in Mathematics Presented at the 2006 SACNAS National Conference
Undergraduate and graduate students presented posters in mathematics at the 2006 SACNAS National Conference. The prizewinning poster in mathematics was Permutations of Finite Fields that Decompose in Cycles of Length 2 and Are Given by Binomials, presented by Yesenia Cruz (University of Puerto Rico, Humacao). The presentations were in the exhibit hall, where fellow students, mathematicians, judges, other scientists and exhibtors could view the posters. See the list of the 2006 posters.
